Rollover Accidents
Certain vehicles, like a 15-passenger van, or an SUV, are inherently susceptible
to rollover due to faulty design. The automobile industry has had
the technology to correct the problem for more than 2 decades.
For example, engineers have recommended widening the wheelbase,
decreasing the height of the vehicle, and implementing an electronic
control stability system that would avert a sliding vehicle's tendency
to tip over. Some vehicles have implemented these design changes,
but most have not. Moreover, many vehicles that do rollover lack
adequate crash protective devices, such as side curtain airbags,
laminated windows, strengthened side pillars and roofs. The faulty
designs of these vehicles literally seriously injure or kill thousands
of people each year.
If you or a loved one is in need of legal assistance, call Buckley & Associates at (206) 622-1100 or toll free (800) 404-6200 or submit
an online questionnaire. The initial consultation is free of charge, and
if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which
means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds.
In many cases, a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date,
known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you
do not waive your right to possible compensation.
